A SOCIETY FOR MAIDEN LADIES'
The Danes have society unlike those
Of any other people we know. 1t is
known as the Maiden Assurance So
ciety." Its aim is to provide for q
class-single women of well-to-do fam
lilies. 1t shelters and cares for them,
and furnishes them with pin money"
Its methods are thus described: As
soon as girl child is born to him the
father enrolls her name in a certain
association and pays certain sum,
and thereafter a fixed sum to the 80
ciety. When she has reached the age,
we believe 81, and is not married, she
becomes entitled to a fixed income and
to a suite of apartments in a large
building of the association, with gar
dens and park about it, inhabited by
other young or older ladies who have
thus become members. If her father
dies in her youth and she desires it,
she has shelter in this building, and at
a fixed time her own income. When
she dies or marries all this right to in
come lapses, and the money paid in
swells the endowment of the associa-
ton. Her father may pay for twenty
years and then her marriage cuts of
all advantages of the insurance. But
this very chance must enable the
company to charge lower annual pre-.
miums, and make the burden less OH
the father insuring. He has any way
the pleasant feeling that his small an.
nual payments are insuring his daugh.
ter's future, and giving her comfort.
able home and income after he has
gone. tits obvious that the chances
for marriage among a given number ol
women can be calculated as closely al
those Of death. The plan has worked
well for generations in Copenhagen

The landlord suspected by the actions Of

the landlord a ten dollar American bank
note from which to deduct his bill. The
landlord expressed his doubts rs to its be

station, purchased u ticket for London,

How Mans wife Was Appropriated by
His.Friend.
A wrll-known citizen, an iron-worker
by occupation ana German by nation
ality, called at police headquarters last
evening and unioldtd tale which is one
of the strangest ever coming to light i'll this
city, aud which is deserving OF much more
extended notice than we can devote to it
tins morning In substance the story he
told was rs follows:
The iron-wOrkcr, whom we will desig.
nate by the name Of Mr.. A , has lived here
for several years, where he came immedi-
diatclv upon leaving Germany. His wife
and two children he left in the Fatherland
until such time as he should have cash
enough to bring them over. While here he
became well-acquainted with gentleman
who We will call Mr.. f., and the two be
came very intimate. Mr.. T. lived III the
country. About two years ago Il. went
to Europe, and returning brought with
him lady ~ his wife, taking her to his
country residence. Last May Mr.. A., i'll
bNNblNlllNt " lAu q pAtAI Nv li'AN A'hS i''A '''
his mind remitted money to Germany
sufficient for the expense Of his wife and
children on their voyage to the New
World. In due time the money
was returned with the rather startling
information that Mrs. \. and the children
had left for america 4 year before, and
were supposed to he near Wheeling. Mr.
4. began at once to lOOl; out for his wife
and yesterday, in pursuit OF a pointer, he
drove out to Mr.. B. : residence Imagine
his feelings at there finding his daughter
aged L., and his son, aged II, whom he
had not seen for several years. He called
to his daughter and asked her
if she did not know him, but
her only reply was to hang
her head aud burst into tears The boy,
however, said he did not know his father
Mr.. A. was told his wife was not there,
hut neighbors told him she was, but they
added they thought she was i'll.
ON his return to the city Mr. \. sought
Captain Smith and laid the story before
him, asking advice as tn what was best to
be done under the circumstances. Action
upon the advice given may bring forth IN
! interesting sequel.

HE DISAPPEARED.

4 Belmont County Merchants Friends
Alarmed over. His Absence.
On Monday Frank Upton, until recently
of Bridgeport, left his home in Barton,
where he has been in business during the
past few months in the old Shannon Tag
gart stand, without stating to his wife or
others where he was going. He took about
500 with him, and was seen in Bridge
port the same day, since which time he
has not been seen. Shannon Taggart, the
man from whom he purchased the store,
was lett in charge by Upton, ne having
said he would return the same day. In
the evening when he did not return, his
wife became alarmed at his absence, and
came to the house OF her father, Mr. Will
lam Gilmore, of Bridgeport. Yesterday a
number OF Tipton's creditors became
alarmed over the matter and
commenced proceedings to recover
the amounts OF their bills, under the sup
position that he has ahsConded. Joseph
Speidel X Co, of this city, brought suit
for SIS Go; Nicholas Kuhn, OF Bridgeport
for S2uO.5O, and J. c. Dent * Co. for $40
There are other attachments to he made,
although Taggart, who is in charge Of the
store, stated yesterday that there are y, O'O
worth Of goods in the house, which Is more
than enough to cover all liabilities. There
is no reason assignahle for TiptOn's action,
as he was doinga hourishing business, and
was getting along well in all matters, both
domestic and financial.
